High-yield JPMorgan AMJB notes link to stocks and metals (NYSE: AMJB)
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the least performing of four underlyings: the S&P 500® Index, the Nasdaq‑100® Technology Sector, the iShares® Silver Trust and the SPDR® Gold Trust. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and carry the credit risk of both the issuer and guarantor.
The notes pay a contingent monthly coupon of at least 13.30% per annum (at least $11.0833 per $1,000 per month) only if, on a given review date, the closing value of each underlying is at or above 60% of its initial value. Missed coupons can be paid later if the barrier is met, but may never be recovered. The notes can be automatically called starting July 28, 2026 if each underlying is at or above its initial value, in which case holders receive principal plus applicable coupons.
At maturity in December 2027, if the notes have not been called and any underlying is below 60% of its initial value, repayment of principal is reduced one‑for‑one with the loss on the worst performer, and investors can lose most or all of their principal. Estimated value at launch is lower than the $1,000 issue price, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and the issuer’s internal funding rate.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB auto callable contingent interest notes?
The notes are structured debt securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., with payments linked to the performance of four underlyings: the S&P 500® Index, the Nasdaq‑100® Technology Sector, the iShares® Silver Trust and the SPDR® Gold Trust.
How do the contingent interest payments on AMJB notes work?
For each $1,000 note, a monthly contingent coupon of at least $11.0833 (at least 13.30% per annum) is paid only if, on that review date, the closing value of each underlying is at least 60% of its initial value. Missed coupons accrue and can be paid later if the barrier is met, but may never be paid if it is not.
When can the AMJB notes be automatically called?
The notes may be automatically called on any review date from July 28, 2026 (excluding the first five and the final review dates) if the closing value of each underlying is at or above its initial value. On a call, holders receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable contingent interest and any unpaid prior contingent interest.
What happens at maturity if the AMJB notes are not called?
If the notes are not called and the final value of each underlying is at least 60% of its initial value, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the final contingent coupon and any unpaid prior coupons. If the final value of any underlying is below 60% of its initial value, the maturity payment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the return of the least performing underlying, so principal losses can exceed 40% and reach 100%.
What is the risk profile of the JPMorgan AMJB auto callable notes?
Key risks include loss of principal if the least performing underlying falls below its 60% trigger at maturity, the possibility of receiving no interest if barriers are not met on review dates, exposure to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and limited liquidity since the notes are not exchange‑listed.
How is the estimated value of the AMJB notes determined?
If priced on the date shown, the notes would have an estimated value of about $965.20 per $1,000, and at issuance the estimated value will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000. This reflects the value of a fixed‑income component plus embedded derivatives, using JPMorgan’s internal funding rate and including selling commissions, hedging costs and projected hedging profits.
Which markets and assets underlie the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The notes reference U.S. large‑cap equities via the S&P 500® Index, technology sector stocks via the Nasdaq‑100® Technology Sector, and precious metals exposure via the iShares® Silver Trust (silver) and SPDR® Gold Trust (gold). Payments depend on the performance of each underlying separately, not on a combined basket.
