Tesla (TSLA) contingent interest notes from JPMorgan with barrier
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the common stock of Tesla, Inc., fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes can pay a contingent interest of at least 14.20% per annum, paid monthly, for any Review Date on which Tesla’s closing share price is at or above 50.00% of the Initial Value. Missed interest can be made up later if this barrier is met on a future Review Date.
The notes are automatically called, starting March 2, 2026, if Tesla’s share price on a Review Date (other than the first, second and final) is at or above the Initial Value, in which case investors receive $1,000 per note plus applicable interest and no further payments. If the notes are not called and the Final Value is below the 50.00% Trigger Value, the maturity payment is reduced one-for-one with Tesla’s decline and investors can lose more than half, up to all, of their principal.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial, subject to the credit risk of both the issuer and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The estimated value, if priced on the example date, would be approximately $956.20 per $1,000 note, and will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 at pricing.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan auto callable contingent interest notes linked to Tesla (TSLA)?
These notes are structured debt securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They pay contingent interest and return of principal that depend on the performance of Tesla, Inc.’s common stock over a term ending June 7, 2027.
How does the contingent interest on these Tesla-linked notes work?
For each $1,000 note, you receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $11.8333 (at least 14.20% per annum, 1.18333% per month) for any Review Date where Tesla’s closing price is at or above 50.00% of the Initial Value, called the Interest Barrier. Previously unpaid interest from earlier Review Dates is also paid when the barrier is met.
When can these Tesla-linked notes be automatically called early?
On any Review Date other than the first, second and final Review Dates, if Tesla’s closing share price is at or above the Initial Value, the notes are automatically called. The earliest possible automatic call date is based on the March 2, 2026 Review Date, with payment on the following Call Settlement Date.
How can investors lose principal on these JPMorgan Tesla notes?
If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Value of Tesla is below the 50.00% Trigger Value, the maturity payment per $1,000 note is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the stock return. This means you lose 1% of principal for each 1% Tesla falls below the Initial Value, and you can lose more than 50.00% and up to all of your principal.
Do these Tesla-linked notes guarantee any interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not guarantee any interest payments. If Tesla’s closing price is below the Interest Barrier on a Review Date, no Contingent Interest Payment is made for that date, and if the barrier is never reached on later Review Dates, missed interest is never paid. Investors also do not receive any Tesla dividends or shareholder rights.
What is the estimated value of these JPMorgan Tesla notes versus the price to public?
If the notes priced on the example date, the estimated value would be approximately $956.20 per $1,000 principal amount note, and it will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 at pricing. The price to public is $1,000 per note, which includes selling commissions, structuring and hedging costs that account for the difference.
What are the key risks of investing in the Tesla-linked auto callable notes?
Key risks include potential loss of more than 50% or all principal if Tesla’s Final Value is below the Trigger Value, the possibility that no interest is ever paid, credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., lack of liquidity because the notes are not exchange-listed, and an estimated value that is lower than the issue price.
