AMJB structured notes: PANW & TSM-linked 11.1% contingent coupon
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is issuing $330,000 of Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the lesser performing of Palo Alto Networks common stock and Taiwan Semiconductor ADSs, maturing on November 24, 2028. The notes pay a contingent interest rate of 11.10% per annum (2.775% per quarter) only if, on a Review Date, the closing price of one share of each reference stock is at or above 50% of its Strike Value. Missed interest can be paid later if barriers are met, but investors may receive no interest at all.
The notes are automatically called if, on any non-final Review Date, each stock closes at or above its Strike Value, returning $1,000 per note plus due interest. If not called, and at maturity either stock finishes below its Trigger Value (50% of Strike), repayment is reduced by the negative return of the lesser performing stock, creating the possibility of losing more than half, up to all, of principal. The price to public is $1,000 per note, with an estimated value of $945.70, and the notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., subject to its credit risk.

If the Final Value of either stock is below its Trigger Value, the maturity payment becomes $1,000 + ($1,000 × Lesser Performing Stock Return), exposing investors to losses greater than 50% of principal and up to a total loss.
