High-yield JPMorgan (AMJB) callable notes link income to SPX, RTY, XLK
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering callable contingent interest notes linked to the least performing of the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 2000 Index and the State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes have a minimum denomination of $1,000 and are expected to be issued around January 30, 2026, maturing on December 21, 2028. They pay a contingent interest rate of at least 12.00% per annum, or at least 3.00% per quarter, but only for quarters in which, on every day, each underlying stays at or above its interest barrier set at 70% of its strike value.
If the notes are not called early and, on the final review date, any underlying finishes below its trigger value at 60% of its strike, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline of the least performing underlying, with the possibility of losing the entire $1,000. JPMorgan may redeem the notes early on any interest payment date from March 19, 2026, paying $1,000 plus any due contingent interest. The notes are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and they do not pay fixed interest or any dividends from the underlyings.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB callable contingent interest notes?
The notes are structured debt securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., offering contingent quarterly interest tied to the worst performer among the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 2000 Index and the State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF over a term to December 21, 2028.
How is the interest on the JPMorgan AMJB notes calculated?
For each $1,000 note, investors may receive a contingent interest payment of at least $30.00 per quarter, equivalent to a minimum 12.00% per annum rate, but only if on every day in the quarter each underlying stays at or above its 70% interest barrier. If any underlying falls below its barrier on any day in that period, no interest is paid for that quarter.
When can the JPMorgan AMJB notes be called early and what is paid?
JPMorgan may, at its option, redeem the notes early in whole on any interest payment date other than the final one, starting on March 19, 2026. On early redemption, holders receive $1,000 per note plus any contingent interest due for the preceding monitoring period, with no further payments afterward.
What happens at maturity if the JPMorgan AMJB notes are not called?
If the notes remain outstanding to December 21, 2028 and each underlying’s final value is at least its 60% trigger value, investors receive $1,000 per note plus any final contingent interest. If any underlying ends below its trigger, the maturity payment becomes $1,000 plus $1,000 times the return of the least performing underlying, which can result in a loss of more than 40% or even the full principal.
What are the main risks of investing in the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing a significant portion or all principal if the least performing underlying finishes below its trigger value, the chance of receiving no interest for some or all quarters if barriers are breached, the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and limited liquidity since the notes will not be listed on an exchange.
Do holders of the JPMorgan AMJB notes receive dividends or have rights in the underlyings?
No. Investors do not receive dividends from the State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF or from any stocks in the S&P 500 or Russell 2000, nor do they have voting or ownership rights in any underlying. All potential return comes from contingent interest payments and principal repayment as defined by the note terms.
How are the JPMorgan AMJB notes treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
JPMorgan expects to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with any contingent interest treated as ordinary income. The tax outcome is not certain, and investors are urged to consult their tax advisers and review the detailed tax discussion in the product supplement and this pricing supplement.
