These unsecured notes provide potential early redemption at a premium, plus exposure to Index gains if held to maturity and not called.
How does the automatic call feature work on the JPMorgan Multi-Asset Index notes (AMJB)?
On each Review Date before maturity (February 8, 2027 and January 31, 2028), if the Index closing level is at or above the applicable Call Value, the notes are automatically called.

What do AMJB investors receive at maturity if the notes are not automatically called?
If the notes are not called, each note pays at maturity $1,000 plus an Additional Amount. The Additional Amount equals $1,000 × Index Return × 100% Participation Rate, but not less than zero. If the Final Value is less than or equal to the Initial Value, investors simply receive the $1,000 principal amount, with no interest or inflation protection.
What is the J.P. Morgan Multi-Asset Index underlying the AMJB notes?

Morgan Multi-Asset Index (ticker MAX) is a rules-based, notional index that tracks a diversified portfolio of up to 10 futures-based excess return indices across equities, fixed income and commodities, minus a 1.00% per annum daily deduction.

How are the AMJB notes treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
According to counsel’s opinion, the notes are expected to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments.

Investors are urged to consult their tax advisers.
