JPMorgan (AMJB) auto callable notes tied to Nasdaq-100, KRE, SMH ETFs
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering unsecured Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index, the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF, maturing on November 22, 2027, in minimum $1,000 denominations.
The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of at least 1.02083% (equivalent to at least 12.25% per year) for any Review Date when each underlying closes at or above 65% of its Initial Value, and may be automatically called as early as March 17, 2026 if, on an eligible Review Date, each underlying is at or above its Initial Value, returning $1,000 plus the applicable coupon.
If the notes are not called and the Final Value of any underlying is below 55% of its Initial Value, repayment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the return of the worst performer, so investors lose more than 45% of principal and could lose it all; interest is not guaranteed, there are no dividend rights, liquidity may be limited, payments depend on the credit of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and if priced on the indicated date the estimated value would be about $966.30 per $1,000, with the final estimated value not less than $930.00.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes?
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They are auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index, the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF, with a scheduled maturity on November 22, 2027 and minimum denominations of $1,000.
How do contingent interest payments work on the AMJB notes?
For each $1,000 note, you receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $10.2083 (at least 12.25% per annum, or at least 1.02083% per month) on an Interest Payment Date if, on the related Review Date, the closing value of each underlying is at or above 65.00% of its Initial Value, the Interest Barrier. If any underlying is below its Interest Barrier on that Review Date, no interest is paid for that period.
When can these JPMorgan AMJB notes be automatically called?
The notes can be automatically called on any Review Date other than the first, second and final Review Dates if the closing value of each underlying is at or above its Initial Value. The earliest possible automatic call date is the Review Date on March 17, 2026. If called, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable Contingent Interest Payment on the related Call Settlement Date, and no further payments are made.
How can investors lose principal on the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Value of any underlying is below 55.00% of its Initial Value (its Trigger Value), the maturity payment per $1,000 note is $1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Underlying Return). This means you lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline in the worst-performing underlying from its Initial Value, resulting in a loss of more than 45% of principal and possibly a total loss.
What is the estimated value of the AMJB notes versus the price to the public?
The price to the public is $1,000 per note. If the notes priced on the date illustrated, the estimated value would be approximately $966.30 per $1,000 note, and when the terms are set the estimated value disclosed will be not less than $930.00 per $1,000 note. The difference reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits and hedging costs included in the original issue price.
What key risks are highlighted for the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
Key risks include: no principal guarantee and potential total loss if the worst-performing underlying finishes below its Trigger Value; no guaranteed interest if any underlying is below its Interest Barrier on Review Dates; exposure to each underlying individually, including banking and semiconductor industry risks; credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.; limited liquidity because the notes will not be listed; and the fact that investors do not receive dividends on the ETFs or index constituents.
How are the AMJB notes treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
JPMorgan intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with Contingent Interest Payments taxed as ordinary income, based on advice from Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. The issuer notes that other reasonable treatments are possible and that future IRS or Treasury guidance on prepaid forward contracts could affect tax consequences, potentially with retroactive effect.
