JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) prices review notes tied to major indices
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering $693,000 of structured "Review Notes" linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average®, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index, maturing on January 17, 2031 and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes can be automatically called on scheduled Review Dates starting January 19, 2027 if all three indices are at or above 100% of their Initial Values, paying back $1,000 plus a call premium that steps up from 7.55% to 37.75%. If not called, and each Final Index Value is at least 70% of its Initial Value, investors receive their principal plus the absolute value of the loss on the worst index, capped at a 30.00% gain (maximum payment $1,300 per $1,000 note).
If any index finishes below its 70% Barrier Amount and the notes have not been called, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the decline of the worst index, and investors can lose most or all principal. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured, are not FDIC insured, and may be hard to sell before maturity. The price to public is $1,000 per note, with estimated value of $928.90 at pricing.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB Review Notes described in this 424B2?
The notes are structured securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They are linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average®, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index, with a scheduled maturity on January 17, 2031 and a total offering size of $693,000.
How does the automatic call feature on the JPMorgan AMJB notes work?
On each Review Date from January 19, 2027 through January 14, 2031, if the closing level of each index is at or above its Call Value (100% of its Initial Value), the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive $1,000 per note plus a Call Premium Amount that steps up by 7.55% each year, reaching 37.75% on the final Review Date. Once called, no further payments are made.
What happens at maturity if the JPMorgan AMJB notes are not called?
If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Value of each index is at least 70% of its Initial Value (the Barrier Amount), the maturity payment per $1,000 note is $1,000 plus the Absolute Index Return of the Least Performing Index, capped at a 30.00% gain (maximum $1,300). If any index finishes below its Barrier Amount, the payoff becomes $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Least Performing Index Return, so losses track the full decline of the worst index.
Can investors in the JPMorgan AMJB Review Notes lose their principal?
Yes. The notes do not guarantee a return of principal. If they have not been automatically called and the Final Value of any index is less than 70% of its Initial Value, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% the least performing index is below its Initial Value. Under these conditions, investors can lose more than 30.00% of principal and may lose the entire $1,000 per note.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors will not receive dividends or have any rights with respect to the stocks in the underlying indices. Potential returns come only from call premiums if the notes are called, or from the structured payoff at maturity.
What are the key credit and liquidity considerations for 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 their credit. The notes will not be listed on any exchange, and any secondary trading will depend on prices at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to buy, which are expected to be below the original $1,000 issue price.
Why is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes lower than the issue price?
The estimated value at pricing is $928.90 per $1,000 note, which is lower than the price to public because that price includes selling commissions, projected profits for hedging, and estimated hedging costs. The issuer’s internal funding rate and derivatives pricing models are used to compute the estimated value, which may differ from secondary market values.
