JPMorgan Chase (AMJB) capped notes linked to S&P 500 and Russell 2000
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering capped notes linked to the least performing of the S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Nasdaq‑100 through December 22, 2028. For each $1,000 note, investors receive 100% participation in any positive return of the worst-performing index, up to a maximum return of at least 23.00%, or at least $230.00 per $1,000, plus repayment of principal at maturity.
If any index ends at or below its initial level, the additional return is zero and investors receive only their $1,000 principal, with no protection against inflation. The notes pay no interest, pass through no dividends, are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations subject to the credit risk of the issuer and guarantor, and will not be listed, so liquidity may be limited and secondary prices are expected to be below the issue price. If priced on the example date, the estimated value would be about $964.30 per $1,000, and the final estimated value will be at least $900.00. U.S. tax disclosure indicates the notes are expected to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments, requiring annual original issue discount accruals.
