High-yield Reddit-linked notes from JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) with 23.50% contingent interest
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the Class A common stock of Reddit, Inc. The notes target a Contingent Interest Rate of at least 23.50% per annum (at least 5.875% per quarter), paid only on Review Dates when Reddit’s share price is at or above 55.00% of the Initial Value, with missed coupons potentially paid later if this condition is met.
The notes can be automatically called on any Review Date other than the first and final if Reddit’s share price is at or above the Initial Value, returning $1,000 per note plus the applicable and any unpaid contingent interest. If held to the January 31, 2029 maturity and the final share price is at or above the 55.00% Trigger Value, holders receive $1,000 plus the final and any unpaid contingent interest. If the final price is below the Trigger Value, repayment is reduced in line with the stock’s loss, and investors can lose more than 45% and up to all principal. The notes are unsecured, not listed, and an initial estimated value of about $960 per $1,000 note (not less than $940 when set) reflects embedded selling, structuring and hedging costs.
