JPMorgan (AMJB) offers auto callable notes tied to tech, small caps and semis
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes due January 4, 2029 linked to the least performing of three underlyings: the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF.
The notes pay a contingent interest rate of at least 12.00% per annum, credited monthly (at least 1.00% per month), but only if on each monthly Interest Review Date the closing value of each underlying is at least 70.00% of its Initial Value. Missed coupons can be made up later if the condition is met. The notes may be automatically called quarterly starting June 29, 2026 if each underlying is at or above its Initial Value, returning $1,000 per note plus the current and any unpaid interest.
If not called, and on the final Review Date each underlying is at or above 70.00% of its Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 plus the final and any unpaid interest. If any underlying finishes below 70.00%, the payoff is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Least Performing Underlying Return, so investors can lose more than 30% and up to all principal. Minimum denomination is $1,000, and an illustrative estimated value is $966.20 per $1,000 note, with a minimum estimated value at pricing of $930.00 per $1,000. The notes are unsecured, not FDIC insured, may be illiquid and are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., as well as concentrated technology, small-cap and semiconductor sector risks.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan AMJB offering in this structured note deal?
The issuer is offering Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes due January 4, 2029, linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF, in minimum denominations of $1,000.
How do the contingent interest payments work on the AMJB auto callable notes?
The notes pay a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $10.00 per $1,000 (at least 12.00% per annum, 1.00% per month) on each Interest Payment Date only if the closing value of each underlying on the related Interest Review Date is at least 70.00% of its Initial Value. Unpaid coupons can be paid later if a future review date meets the barrier.
When can the AMJB notes be automatically called and what do investors receive?
The notes are subject to automatic call on quarterly Autocall Review Dates from June 29, 2026 through September 29, 2028 if each underlying closes at or above its Initial Value. If called, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable Contingent Interest Payment and any previously unpaid contingent interest, and no further payments are made.
What happens at maturity for the AMJB notes if they are not called early?
If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Value of each underlying on the final Review Date is at least its Trigger Value (70.00% of Initial Value), investors receive $1,000 per note plus the final Contingent Interest Payment and any unpaid prior interest. If any underlying finishes below its Trigger Value, the payoff is $1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Underlying Return), so principal losses can exceed 30% and reach 100%.
What are the main risks of investing in the JPMorgan AMJB auto callable contingent interest notes?
Key risks include no principal protection, the possibility of receiving no interest at all if any underlying stays below its 70.00% barrier on all review dates, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., lack of liquidity since the notes will not be listed, and sector and size concentration risks tied to technology, small-cap and semiconductor exposures.
How does the estimated value of the AMJB notes compare to the price to public?
If priced on the example date, the estimated value would be about $966.20 per $1,000 note, and at pricing it will not be less than $930.00 per $1,000. The difference from the $1,000 price to public reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses and hedging costs.
Do investors in AMJB notes receive dividends from the ETF or index constituents?
No. Investors do not receive dividends on the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF or on any securities in the indices and have no ownership or voting rights in the underlying stocks or the fund.
