FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB Uncapped Return Enhanced Notes linked to Fiserv and PayPal?
The notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They provide exposure to the lesser performing of Fiserv, Inc. and PayPal Holdings, Inc. stock over a term ending on January 25, 2029, with leveraged upside but full downside to the weaker stock.
How is the return on these JPMorgan AMJB notes calculated at maturity?
If the Final Value of each stock is above its Strike Value, investors receive $1,000 plus $1,000 times the lesser stock’s return multiplied by the 2.815 upside leverage factor. If one stock is above and the other equals its strike, or both equal their strikes, investors receive only their $1,000 principal. If either stock finishes below its strike, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline in the lesser performing stock.
Can investors lose principal on the JPMorgan AMJB Fiserv/PayPal notes?
Yes. The notes do not guarantee a return of principal. If the Final Value of either Reference Stock is less than its Strike Value, investors lose 1% of principal for every 1% decline in the lesser performing stock, up to a total loss of the $1,000 principal amount per note.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB notes pay interest or pass through dividends?
No. The notes do not pay interest during their term, and investors do not receive dividends or any shareholder rights on Fiserv or PayPal stock. All potential return comes only from the payoff formula at maturity based on stock performance.
What are the main credit and liquidity risks of the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., so payments depend on the creditworthiness of both entities. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange, and any secondary market would depend on prices at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to buy, which may be lower than the $1,000 issue price.
What is the issue price and estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The price to the public is $1,000 per note, with $28.50 in selling commissions and proceeds of $971.50 per note to the issuer. The estimated value at pricing is $950.00 per $1,000 principal amount, reflecting internal funding rates, hedging costs and dealer compensation.
How are the JPMorgan AMJB notes generally treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
JPMorgan’s special tax counsel believes it is reasonable to treat the notes as “open transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, so gain or loss on sale or maturity should generally be capital, and long-term if held more than a year. The discussion notes potential IRS challenges and references possible effects of future guidance on prepaid forward contracts and Section 871(m) for non-U.S. holders.
