Callable contingent interest notes from JPMorgan linked to major indexes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is issuing $835,000 of Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000, S&P 500 and Nasdaq‑100 indices, due November 27, 2028.
The notes pay a contingent interest rate of 6.25% per annum, or $5.2083 per $1,000 monthly, but only for review dates when each index closes at or above 70% of its initial level; otherwise no interest is paid. JPMorgan may redeem the notes early, in whole, on specified interest payment dates starting November 27, 2026 at $1,000 plus any due contingent interest.
If held to maturity and any index finishes below 65% of its initial level, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% drop beyond the 35% buffer, up to a 65% loss of principal. The estimated value at pricing was $976.40 per $1,000, below the $1,000 issue price, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and issuer funding rates.

FAQ
What is AMJB’s new JPMorgan contingent interest note offering?
The offering is $835,000 of Callable Contingent Interest Notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000, S&P 500 and Nasdaq‑100 indices and maturing on November 27, 2028.
How do the contingent interest payments work on these JPMorgan AMJB-linked notes?
The notes pay a 6.25% per annum contingent interest rate, or 0.52083% per month ($5.2083 per $1,000), only if on a review date each index closes at or above 70% of its initial value. If any index is below this interest barrier on a review date, no interest is paid for that period.
What principal protection or buffer do the JPMorgan AMJB notes provide at maturity?
If the notes are not redeemed early and on the final review date each index is at or above 65% of its initial value (the buffer threshold), investors receive $1,000 per note plus any final contingent interest. If any index is below 65%, the maturity payment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the least performing index return plus the 35% buffer amount, which can lead to a loss of up to 65% of principal.
When can JPMorgan redeem these AMJB-related notes early and at what price?
JPMorgan may, at its option, redeem the notes early on any interest payment date other than the first eleven and the final date, starting on November 27, 2026. The early redemption price per $1,000 note is $1,000 plus any contingent interest due for the immediately preceding review date.
What are key risks of the JPMorgan Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to AMJB indices?
Investors face principal risk up to 65% if the least performing index ends below its buffer threshold, and there is no guarantee of any interest if index levels remain under the 70% interest barriers. The notes are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., are not listed on an exchange, and may have limited or illiquid secondary market prices.
How does the estimated value compare to the issue price of these JPMorgan AMJB-linked notes?
The estimated value at pricing was $976.40 per $1,000 principal amount note, which is lower than the $1,000 price to public. The difference reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and the estimated cost of hedging and funding for JPMorgan.
What are the minimum denominations and fees for the JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
The notes have minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The price to the public is $1,000 per note, with $7.50 in fees and commissions per $1,000, resulting in $992.50 in proceeds to the issuer per note before other costs.
